Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Fertile, IA

Iowa Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Fertile, IA to farm lanes, driveways and building pads. Class A roadstone is the crushed limestone base course this part of Iowa builds on, with the fines left in so it binds and compacts.

You order online, pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard, and a dump truck tips the load on your site.

Materials for Fertile Projects

Start with the base. Class A roadstone, also called roadstone or 3/4 inch roadstone, is the standard crushed limestone base for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.

It carries the load and holds its shape once it is compacted.

Where a drive is new, soft, or hauling heavy equipment, lay 1 inch roadstone first. It is the coarser grade, still with fines, and it goes under a finer surface course.

For topping a lane that has thinned out over a good base, use driveway gravel.

Washed, open graded stone handles water instead of holding it. Clean rock, sold here as 1 inch clean or 1 1/2 inch clean, is washed and open, so water moves straight through it.

That makes it the right stone for subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding and septic rock.

For the finish work, limestone screenings bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints, and top dress a compacted base. 3/8" Crushed Stone, sold as washed chips, covers seal coat aggregate, fine drainage and paver joints.

Sand, soil and decorative stone round out an order. Mason sand goes into brick and block mortar and paver joints.

Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers. Black dirt, which is screened topsoil, repairs lawns and preps beds, and river rock or Natural Pea Gravel finishes walkways and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Fertile

Water is the driver here, and it decides what you order. Across the Des Moines Lobe, this is pothole country.

The drainage network is young, kettles and closed depressions hold water, and most ground only drains because it is tiled.

Snowmelt and spring rain sit on the surface where the ground below is still frozen. That is where clean rock earns its place: an open graded layer under a drive or around a foundation gives meltwater somewhere to go.

The soil is thick, compact pebbly loam till, with sand and gravel along old meltwater channels. It is heavy ground that moves when it is wet, and ditch and tile outlet scour is common where runoff concentrates.

Compaction waits for the frost to come out and the flat ground to shed its spring water. Base and paver work runs from late spring to the fall freeze, and a wet spring shortens that window.

Frost heaves gravel drives and field entrances as the ground lets go in spring.
